Nitto 555R

If they are anything like the BFG`s not hard is what I`d say I`m barely squeaking out 1.6 sixty`s with 255 50 16`s BFG`s and that`s with a lot of tire spin through first and some into second
nothing like a fat motor in a third gen! I like that 84 you`ve got!!
Mine`s an 85 have a look:: http://members.cardomain.com/greezemonkey

Drag radial class guys have gone mid 8s on a BFG 325/50/15 DR. Hooking up is all about chassis tuning.

Back on topic: Nitto's are considered more of a street friendly drag radial than the BFGs. Unlike the BFG, you can actually safely drive on the street with them. BFG tires will yield less mileage and will hook better, no arguements about that. However, if you're in the market for a drag radial, and need extreme traction, check out Mickey Thompson's new line. They are rumored to be better than and "should" be better than the other makes. I love my Nittos personally. But I'm only making half the power you intend to...
